In the midst of the French Revolution, Pierre, a young firebrand, convinces a group of rabble to rise up against the local duc. Coming across the carriage of the ducâs daughter on their march, Pierre assaults her, is run over by the carriage, and disappears. Looking to punish someone for the uprising, the duc has Pierreâs father hanged.
Years later, Pierre has changed his name, gathered some wealth, and ingratiated himself with the duc (who does not know him). Pierre has plans to avenge his fatherâs death against both the duc and his daughter, and he has enlisted the aid of Chauvelin, the Scarlet Pimpernelâs avowed enemy. The Pimpernel will have all he can handle if he is to foil Pierreâs plans.
Although published a few years after El Dorado, this sixth book in the series is set prior to it in the timeline.
